    Simile -A simile uses

    the words like or as


    to compare one object
    or idea with another to
    suggest they are alike.
    Example: busy as a
    bee
    Metaphor -The metaphor
    states a fact or draws a
    verbal picture by the use of
    comparison. A simile would
    say you are like something; a
    metaphor is more positive - it
    says you are something.
    Example: You are what you
    eat.
    Personification -A
    figure of speech in
    which human
    characteristics are
    given to an animal or an
    object.
    Example: My teddy
    bear gave me a hug.
    Alliteration -The
    repetition of the same
    initial letter, sound, or
    group of sounds in a series
    of words. Alliteration
    includes tongue twisters.
    Example: She sells
    seashells by the
    seashore.
    Onomatopoeia -The
    use of a word to
    describe or imitate a
    natural sound or the
    sound made by an
    object or an action.
    Example: snap crackle
    pop
    Hyperbole -An exaggeration
    that is so dramatic that no
    one would believe the
    statement is true. Tall tales
    are hyperboles.
    Example: He was so hungry;
    he ate that whole cornfield
    for lunch, stalks and all.
    Idioms - having a meaning
    that cannot be derived
    from the conjoined
    meanings of its elements.
    Example: Monday week
    for "the Monday a week
    after next Monday"
    Pun - A play on words,
    sometimes on different
    senses of the same word and
    sometimes on the similar
    sense or sound of different
    words.
    Example: The historian
    loves reading about
    bobcats. They are lynx to
    the past. (SGT Snorkel Iowa)
    Clichs -A clich is an
    expression that has
    been used so often
    that it has become
    trite and sometimes
    boring.
    Example: Many hands
    make light work.
